Born in Stoughton, MA on March 22, 1987, Stephanie was known for her kind and spirited nature, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to know her.

Stephanie was a proud graduate of Sharon High School, where she began to cultivate her love for photography. This passion for capturing life's moments, coupled with her inherent creativity, led to the creation of countless scrapbooks, each one a testament to her knack for preserving memories. Her love of animals was undeniable and was only paralleled by her love for her children and family.

Stephanie's love for the outdoors was evident in her fondness for the beach and her joy for swimming in the pool. These interests were more than hobbies; they were expressions of her love for life and the beauty it holds.

Her legacy of love and kindness will undoubtedly live on through them.

Stephanie is also survived by her father, Phillip Gavin and his wife Wendy of Lakeville, and her mother, Deborah Gavin (Watson) of Foxborough. Her bond with her parents was a source of strength for her, and their love and support were constants in her life. She is also survived by her sister, Angela Baker of Florida, with whom she shared a special bond of sisterhood and friendship.

Stephanie was a beacon of positivity, her kindness radiating to everyone she met. Her spirited nature was infectious, and she had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome and loved. Her memory will continue to serve as an inspiration for all those who knew her.
